How to get a ₹8,900 discount as well as headphones free with the OnePlus 6T

On Tuesday, October 30, the newest addition to the OnePlus flagship, the OnePlus 6T, was launched in Delhi. The lowest variant (6GB RAM + 128 GB Storage) costs INR37,999, the one with 8GB RAM and 128 GB memory space is priced at INR41,999 and the highest variant -- one with 8GB RAM and 256GB memory -- costs INR45,999. The OnePlus 6T is set to go on sale starting November 1 on Amazon and will also be available to purchase offline from exclusive OnePlus stores, as well as Croma and Reliance Digital outlets across major cities.

Even though the OnePlus 6T boasts of features that put it the category of high-end phones that sell for mindboggling prices, one of the USPs of the Chinese mobile phone maker has always been maintaining the price range. And if that's not enough, you will now be able to avail a discount of about 23.4 per cent if you follow the right steps. However, before you proceed, word of caution: only a very minor amount of the discount will actually have you "saving" money. Be that as it may, let's jump into the offers.

How to get a INR8900 discount on the OnePlus 6T?

The sale is set to begin on Amazon on November 1 and the first discount is the one that will actually save the money in your account.

Discount of INR2,000

The cost price of whichever OnePlus 6T variant you chose to buy will drop by INR2,000 if you make the purchase using an ICICI debit or credit card, or using a CitiBank credit card.

Discount of INR5400

This big "discount" is only available to those who have a Jio Prime membership. If you are not already an existing user, you can buy a new sim card, and avail this offer. It isn't really a discount, but basically if you buy the OnePlus 6T between November 1 and January 29, 2019, and activate Jio service on the new phone within the said time period by making a recharge of INR299, you will get free recharge coupons worth INR5400 in your MyJio app. There will be 36 coupons of INR150 coupons each, that can be redeemed only one at a time, against subsequent recharges of INR299 each. This offer will be valid to those purchasing the phone online as well as offline.

Discount of INR1,000

To avail of this offer, you must buy the OnePlus 6T between November 1 (midnight) and November 5 (11am) from Amazon. And you are only eligible for this discount by using any prepaid payment method, and not cash or card on delivery. This discount comes in the form of a cashback into your AmazonPay balance, and will be credited within 72 hours of the phone being dispatched for delivery.

Free OnePlus Type-C Bullets Earphones and a discount of INR500

You probably know by now that OnePlus made a big move and removed the headphone jack from its newest flagship. To listen to music through any earphones, you will need to connect it to the type-C to 3.5 mm jack adapter. But as an antidote to this headache, you can get the OnePlus Type-C Bullets Earphones for free as well as get a cashback of INR500 in your AmazonPay account. The first thing you need to do is visit the OnePlus 6T Amazon.in Email Gift Card page, and purchase a INR1,000 gift card. Once you have received the gift card in your email, use that to purchase the OnePlus 6T between November 1 to 3. By November 6, you will get a INR500 cashback in your AmazonPay balance. By November 15, you will be emailed a coupon code to buy the OnePlus Bullets Earphones for free. You can then head over to Amazon to buy the earphones that usually cost INR1,490 for free, by entering the coupon code emailed to you while checking out.
